Sprint have announced that they too will be offering the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 “Intelligent Mobile Hotspot”, expected to launch on Verizon’s network come May 17th. As with the Verizon version, the Sprint MiFi 2200 will share its EVDO Rev.A data connection with up to five WiFi clients; it will also offer access to the hotspot’s GPS functionality, something the Verizon version does not.
That GPS can be used to access mapping and location-based services. Battery life is promised at up to four hours of use or 40hrs standby, and the MiFi 2200 supports WPA2-PSK and WEP encryption and has an SPI Firewall. The whole thing measures just 3.50 x 2.32 x 0.35 inches and weighs 2.05oz.
Sprint plan to launch the MiFi 2200 in the first week of June, priced at $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. Two service plans will be available: the cheapest, at $59.99 per month, offers simply 5GB per month of data, while there’s also a $149.99 Simply Everything Plan + Mobile Broadband, which gives subscribers both phone service and 5GB of MiFi 2200 data. Each plan charges $0.05 per MB for data outside of that 5GB.
